Everything About Cats and the Humans That Love Them

My first experience living with a cat (my sister’s cat, Cuddles) didn’t come until just before I went off to college. I was hooked on kitties from that moment. Right then, I knew I wanted to share my life with one of my own. My first kitty, Obi-Wan, was adopted by my husband and me in spring of 2004.

Cats are so unique! There was a learning curve that came with that uniqueness. Life with a cat was different than life with other species of animal. We didn’t see the early signs of an illness that appeared in Obi-Wan and he passed away in February 2005. His passing left me with a lot of questions and a burning desire to learn everything I could about cats.

When I found out that I could combine my passions for creative work and cats, Playful Kitty was born! Blogging is a way for me to share what I was learning about cats with others. It is also a way for me to showcase all of the things I love about being a cat owner and engage with other cat lovers all around the world.
